Belding, Michigan
I am creating a homestead based on simple but holistic living. The cabin has been built by myself with the help of family and friends over the course of a year and a half. There are a number of trails to walk on the 35 private acreage of rolling hills. This heavily wooded land hosts much wildlife and beautiful scenery including the flat river which is very close by. There is a sport court which provides opportunities to play basketball, volleyball, pickleball, or badminton. A recreational building is currently being constructed. The Fred Meijer trail provides great biking or hiking opportunities. Lazy float tubing or kayaking down the flat river is very popular and only a short walk away. Horse back riding, golf courses, and an amazing local bakery all within a couple miles. A food forest, natural pool/pond, and other projects are on the horizon. The property offers a chance to reconnect with each other, yourself, or the natural world in a simplistic and harmonious way. (there is no wifi) I hope you come experience it!
My family and I stayed here last year and came back for round 2 last week. It is a lovely and SUPER relaxing place to spend a few days.
The pictures and description of this property are dated and the description is not clear on amenities. There is no wifi for phone or tv (owner has corrected the description to indicate absence of wifi). The wood furniture is very uncomfortable and requires more cusioning. The entry porch is covered with dirt from drlveway dirt/wind going thru screen making the hammocks unusable. Weeds surrounding home were 6-7 feet high making the window views all but non-existant. We had no hot water but that was corrected by owner immediately. Owner was responsive to our concerns but we simply had to agree to disagree re: property needs. We abandoned the house on day 2 of our 7 day planned stay. The Owner reimbursed 1 day of our rent as per our agreement. Owner has a good concept but reality has not been achieved as of now.
Loved my experience.
This was a very unique place with lots to do! The only issue we had was no working grill, but i still managed to cook outside over the open fire which was fun. I definitely recommend this place. The online pics are a bit outdated for the current state of the outdoor chairs. Glad we brought are own.
Excellent place for some peace and quiet! Very easy from start to finish with check-in and check-out. The only con to this stay was privacy. We had no problem with the owner doing his work, but people showed up and first parked next to our car and then went to the building where the owner was working. Other than that, wonderful place! We’ll be back to see the progress of the property someday!
Relaxing
Had a couple of nights to escape with my daughter and best friend. It was the perfect place to recharge. Great wooded area to explore the footprints of other guests that rome the night. Even though it rained, and the trees were still bare, I felt like I was in another state exploring the great woods. Nature is pure medicine. I highly recommend making this cabin your vacation spot.
We had very enjoyable stay at the cabin in the woods. The work in the house was amazing. A very well put together cabin perfect for what we were looking for. The owner is going through and doing other things with the property to enhance it further so there is some things around the property to reflect that. Overall we had a great stay and the owner went above and beyond to mail us back a bag we forgot! Very greatful
Our family of four got to experience this cabin last week and enjoyed it thoroughly. The owner hand built the cabin and it really is beautiful. We enjoyed hiking around the property even on a snowy morning. Excited for the add-ons the owner has in store and hope to see how the property develops. The cabin is nice and close to a little town that has food and grocery store but also not super far from Grand Rapids where we got to take the kids to the children’s museum.
The house is absolutely beautiful, and the accompanying property is large enough to explore, but small enough to not get lost. We loved our time here.
The cabin was just what was advertised and what we wanted.
The property was fantastic!!! A storm came through and took out the power the day of check in. Michael was fabulous with communication during this time and we were in the property the next morning in time for our sons to drive up and join us as planned. Thank you so much Michael. It was great and we plan to return in the future as the work you are doing on the property is going to make it even more fantastic. Shawn
The cabin is located in a very quiet secluded spot and it is the owner's main home. The owner may do work on property near the cabin during your stay, so that is consideration if you want complete privacy. It rained the whole time we were there which means I couldn't say what kind of work/noise might be included. It is a lovely home in the rain--super peaceful! The basketball court was a hit with son and there were trails and canoes and a kayak we didn't get to try out because of the weather.
Perfect little Cabin, On many beautiful acres to just get away. Many trails to hike right there, river right down the road. Boys loved the basketball court with the extra lights to keep playing. No Wi-Fi but still had cell service. He had lots of books and videos to choose from. Everything you would need to reconnect with nature and your family. Love that he has many plans for the future to always keep up the property going. It was fun to watch a storm with all the windows. Would love stay again. The host was always in communication with whatever we need it. But everything was easy to find and had no issues.
This cabin was extremely clean and well kept inside. We stayed here to have time in Grand Rapids, Holland and Grand Haven. Definitely take the short trip to the nearby bakery for a treat and we did horseback riding close by too. Michael was super responsive. We loved relaxing in the hammocks each morning and my girls enjoyed the basketball court. Maybe we’ll be back to visit as the property progresses :)
Michael was super communicative and helpful. The property was really nice. Overall very chill. Only suggestion would be to enable some wifi or have Roku set up. I know he wants his home to be an oasis of sorts, but if he will share his home with others, accommodating those who have technology needs would be great. Still a great stay.
Can use abit more love to be an excellent vrbo. The grill and water pressure were disappointing.
